Hi All
I receive some newsletters by email (usually in HTML format) and I would like to delete some content (hi there etc.) at the start and end of the email and then post the html file to my web site
Is this possible, any tips/examples would be appreciated
Thanks
Hey there,
you can use a regular expression to retrieve the data you want from the entire HTML body.
Welcome to the Make community!
You have not yet provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario, and advise on suitable solutions.
Since there are no examples provided, one general solution is that you could prompt an AI module to remove salutations and signatures from the email content.
When reaching out for assistance with text operations, it would be super helpful if you could share the actual text you’re trying to match. Screenshots of text can be a bit tricky, so if you could copy and paste the text directly here, that would be awesome! It ensures we can run it against test patterns effectively. If there’s any sensitive info, feel free to change it to something fictional yet still valid by keeping the format intact.
Providing clear text examples saves time on both ends and helps us give you the best possible solution. Without proper examples, we might end up playing a guessing game, and nobody wants that as it is a waste of time! You are more likely to get a correct answer faster. So, help us help you by sharing those text snippets.
Please format the example text this way to preserve line breaks and special characters:
These are the two ways to format text so that it won’t be modified by the forum:
Method 1: Type code block manually
Add three backticks ``` before and after the content/bundle, like this:
```
content goes here
```
Method 2. Highlight and click the format button in the editor
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Ok thanks for letting be know how to add the content
I have added the content below (which also has images/videos in the original email)
And I would need to remove everything before (and including) Nikki x
And I would want “ESNS 2025 LEADS TO NEW BOOKINGS: FIRST 84 SHOWS CONFIRMED FOR 55 ARTISTS THROUGH EUROPEAN TALENT EXCHANGE” to be the heading of my post.
And then i would want to remove everything after (and including -ENDS-)
European Talent Exchange, the renowned European music Exchange programme, is proud to reveal the first 84 shows confirmed for 55 Artists Through European Talent Exchange

You can use a Text Parser “Match Pattern” module with this Pattern (regular expression):
^(?<title>.+)\n\s*(?<content>[\w\W]+)$
Proof https://regex101.com/r/Q9COu6/1
Global match must be set to NO!
For more information, see the Text Parser page in the Make Help Center:
Match Pattern
The Match pattern module enables you to find and extract string elements matching a search pattern from a given text. The search pattern is a regular expression, which is a sequence of characters in which each character is either a metacharacter, having a special meaning, or a regular character that has a literal meaning.
- The complete list of metacharacters can be found on the MDN web docs website.
- For a tutorial on how to create regular expressions, we recommend the RegexOne website.
- For an easy, quick regex generator, try the Regular Expressions generator.
- For experimenting with regular expressions, we recommend the regular expressions 101 website. Just make sure to select the ECMAScript (JavaScript) flavour in the left panel.
You can copy and paste this module export into your scenario. This will import the modules (with fields/settings/filters) shown in my screenshots above.
Move your mouse over the line of code below. Copy the JSON by clicking the copy button on the right of the code, which looks like this:
Enter your scenario editor. Press ESC to close any dialogs. Press CTRLV (paste keyboard shortcut for Windows) to paste directly in the editor.
Click on each imported module and re-save it for validation. There may be some errors prompting you to remap some variables and connections.
